Singlegirl, I send the best to you and more than glad to read your vent on this issue am in similar situation and struggling as well. I understand that feeling of feeling ill and on a good day trying to compare it to a 'normal' good feeling of wellness, yet to me I remind myself that I know I am feeling unwell, and to you I would say that I hope that you are having a better now and that you feeling ill and or unwell is real and allowed to feel that way if you do feel so.

I myslef second guess my own wellness and the stares and looks also, in all and really hope to reach out and say hang in there and soon I hope your family and those around you will also begin to understand more. Sincerely and sending out a heart of compassion for your illness' take care, kkris
